GEMS Academy 

Project GEMS (Gifted Education in Math and Science)  is a five-year research grant designed to nurture the talents of elementary students who have demonstrated keen interest and high potential in the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Project GEMS, a partnership between Warren County Public Schools and The Center for Gifted Studies at Western Kentucky University, is funded by a $2 million Jacob K. Javits Grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

GEMS Academy is one component of Project GEMS.  Problem based science units developed by the College of William and Mary and problem based math units from the University of Connecticut will provide the core curriculum for this program.
